Refuge Worldwide co-founder and programmer Richard Akingbehin joined me in celebrating 200 episodes of Passing Notes. Originally founded in 2015 as a fundraising platform, Refuge Worldwide launched in 2021 as an independent community station broadcasting 24/7 from their home in Neukolln. Although somewhat newly ‘On Air’ and providing an internationally loved artist to airway connection, Refuge remains, at its core, a community platform. Refuge prioritises amplifying the voices of marginalised artists, continues its community outreach efforts, connects people to current affairs and provides a space for community to share, grow and learn. There’s no doubt that Refuge Worldwide remains aligned with its foundational ethos: to foster unity in the community.

Beyond the Berlin-based broadcaster, Richard’s contributions to the world of music are multifaceted and far reaching. As a versatile DJ, Richard has made appearances spanning the breadth of the European club and festival scene (think Waking Life, Berghain, Melt and more). Richard also lovingly curates the Kynant record label which showcases the experimental sides of ambient, dub and techno. Notably, Richard kicked off his sublabel ‘Kyant Ex’ with a release from Passing Notes favourite, UK experimental band O Yuki Conjugate’s. When he’s not playing, programming or curating music, Richard connects listeners with artists through storytelling - His journalistic prowess, often demonstrated in the form of longform interviews and articles, often grace the pages and readers of heavyweight publications such as Resident Advisor.

Tangela’s roots are entangled in Sydney’s bitumen and brickwork. An FBi Dance Class graduate of 2020, Sydney has nourished her love of electronic music and pushed her to grow as a DJ. Tangela’s sound is all about feel good, groovy, minimal beats full of squelchy bleeps, killer fem vocals, and a healthy smattering of UK Garage. She is the co-founder of Douglas Street, a service which offers weekly livestreams and accompanying podcasts, championing local talent.

Club 77 Live: Tangela

Here is our recording of our three hour vinylset at Zentralwaescherei Zuerich right after christmas. 
We felt a warm resonance from the crowd and really enjoyed the whole ride. 

It's probably one of our favorite sets by date as it reflects records that have been in our collection for quite a long time and didn’t got played yet including some that just have a very high personal value for us.

@Zentralwaescherei is a sick venue really providing a safespace for all human kind.
Such an environment needs to be supported and is of high value, we are glad that there are so many enthusiastic and kind people behind it!
We wish you all a happy new year and our minds are with all the people who aren't save right now.

Peace and enjoy.

42nd Avenue, also known as Thijs, hails from Amsterdam and brings us Transmission 17. We first connected with Thijs through mutual friends at no.clubs. He’s a prominent figure in Amsterdam’s underground scene, playing a key role in the creation of nano.clubs, an exceptional (albeit short-lived) venue renowned for its impeccable sound and setup. In addition, Thijs runs his own ad-hoc party, Club Cohesie, which moves between various spaces in Amsterdam. His sets and mixes are hard to categorise, as they seamlessly drift through a variety of styles, and this mix is no exception. A avid vinyl enthusiast, he recorded this mix at home with two turntables and an A&H mixer. Enjoy x

While putting this mix together, @elsa-9-9 discovered that her collection could be split into two parts: on one side, the tech and progressive house of the 90s and 00s, and on the other, the newer, deeper techno and bass. In this mix, she brings these two elements together seamlessly, creating a cohesive journey that's both driving and uplifting with moments of depth and darkness.

 Release date: 10th March 2025

Accents Podcast Series #031 - ADAM PITS

Next in our mix series is our co-founder, Ekkel. From the studio, he delivers a fresh, modern take on ’90s Nordic electronic music—both mind-bending and progressive—diving headfirst into breaks and intricate percussive trips, whether as Ekkel or Alvar. Teo is deeply woven into the Ute-hemisphere, contributing to various musical constellations. With Solar Alliance (with Oprofessionell & Mikkel Rev), he crafts expansive live trance journeys, recorded and arranged in just days. As Ipeo (with Oprofessionell), he fuses ‘90s influences with contemporary twists to create mesmerizing soundscapes. Meanwhile, Accelerationism (with Marius Bø) are renowned for their marathon sets, regularly playing for hours on end. Teo has released several records on the Seoul-based record label, Junction Forest, that showcases his signature blend of groovy, deep and tech infused trance, further cementing his influence in the scene.

For the 100th anniversary episode Teo has put together a three hour odyssey with strictly his own unreleased material. This mix is a collaboration of sorts as Ekkel requested Marius Bø, the curator of the series, to go through his unreleased folders, select the tracks and order, before Ekkel would mix it all together. A journey from dark to light highlighting both the mental groove based parts of his output, to the more sensitive and dramatic.
